Bethel Equip exists to equip believers in biblical and theological studies, practical ministry training, and leadership development in order to make disciples and develop leaders capable of advancing god’s kingdom. Bethel Equip includes Be1 Discipleship Training, Bethel School of Discipleship, and Bethel Leadership Institute.
Be1 Discipleship Training is the next step for everyone as we look to grow in their faith and help others do the same. Through three short classes, you’ll learn how to share your faith, disciple others, and start a Life Group.
Be1 is a requirement for leading a Life Group.
We offer the training several times a year. Check the event page for upcoming sessions or fill out this form to let us know when you’re ready to participate!
